“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says” (Mark 11:23).

I believe, therefore I am committed to Christ.
Jesus simply responded to the man:
“Go your way; your son lives.” This meant extra faith. He had believed that Jesus could heal his son if He came. Now he had to believe Jesus was bigger than that. The official departed and we read:
“The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him” (John 4:50). It was the next day before he arrived. All that way, all the man had was this brief word from Jesus, every step and every minute. But when he discovered a miracle had taken place, then John records that real faith came:
“He himself believed, and his whole household” (John 4:53). It was not the miracle they believed; that was there to see, not just to be believed. They believed in the way John always talks about believing: commitment to Christ.You may have only a single word of Jesus to cling to—but that one word contains all the explosive resurrection power you will ever need!Taken from Daily Fire Devotional: 365 Days in God’s Word by Reinhard Bonnke.
